Job Summary

We’re hiring Platform Backend Engineers to build the services connecting workflow execution, identity, event routing, secrets management, and audit infrastructure within the Kaseya Intelligence Platform. This is hands-on backend engineering in Go or Rust for a platform used by other engineering teams and agentic AI workloads. Correctness, reliability, security, and operational clarity are core design requirements for everything you build.

Roles & Responsibilities

  • Build and operate platform services supporting API access, Kafka-based event routing, workflow execution, machine identity, and immutable audit records
  • Design event-driven workflows that convert PSA webhooks, RMM alerts, and platform events into durable execution using Kafka and Temporal
  • Implement a pluggable secrets-management and KMS abstraction supporting multiple cloud providers, bring-your-own-key models, envelope encryption, and customer-level cryptographic isolation
  • Build capability-grant enforcement for individual customers, workflows, operations, and service-to-service requests
  • Own GitOps-based deployment pipelines for versioned workflow definitions across isolated customer environments
  • Develop onboarding automation for identity provisioning, compliance configuration, and customer-specific key-management setup
  • Build secure connector services for third-party APIs, including scoped access, managed credentials, request validation, and pre-execution audit logging
  • Improve platform observability, performance, failure recovery, operational readiness, and production incident response

Required Qualifications

  • Experience building and operating production backend services using Go or Rust
  • Experience designing event-driven systems using Kafka or similar technologies, including retries, idempotency, replay, and at-least-once delivery
  • Experience implementing authentication and authorization using OAuth 2.0, OIDC, token lifecycle management, or fine-grained access controls
  • Experience implementing encryption or key-management solutions using cloud KMS platforms, envelope encryption, or key-hierarchy designs
  • Experience operating multi-tenant production systems using structured logging, metrics, distributed tracing, and incident-response practices

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Temporal or another durable workflow orchestration platform
  • Experience integrating identity platforms such as Zitadel, Keycloak, Auth0, Okta, or similar technologies
  • Experience with ClickHouse or another columnar, append-only, or audit-focused data store
  • Experience with GitOps, CI/CD, Kubernetes, or infrastructure-as-code deployment practices
  • Experience integrating MSP, PSA, RMM, security, or Microsoft 365 platform APIs
  • Experience building software for environments subject to SOC 2, HIPAA, CMMC, or similar requirements
  • Experience developing multi-cloud platform services across AWS, Azure, or GCP

Compensation Range 

The base salary range for this job is CAD $160,000 – $240,000 / year.

An individual’s base pay depends on various factors including geographical location and review of experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities of the applicant.

OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.

How do you know if you have a disability?

A disability is a condition that substantially limits one or more of your “major life activities.” If you have or have ever had such a condition, you are a person with a disability. Disabilities include, but are not limited to:

  • Alcohol or other substance use disorder (not currently using drugs illegally)
  • Autoimmune disorder, for example, lupus, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, HIV/AIDS
  • Blind or low vision
  • Cancer (past or present)
  • Cardiovascular or heart disease
  • Celiac disease

  • Mobility impairment, benefiting from the use of a wheelchair, scooter, walker, leg brace(s) and/or other supports
  • Nervous system condition, for example, migraine headaches, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis (MS)
  • Neurodivergence, for example, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder, dyslexia, dyspraxia, other learning disabilities
  • Partial or complete paralysis (any cause)
  • Pulmonary or respiratory conditions, for example, tuberculosis, asthma, emphysema
  • Short stature (dwarfism)
  • Traumatic brain injury

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification


For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in Kaseya’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.
